New research shows God-believing 'nones' align closely with religious Americans

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans now identify as religious "nones," and new research from University of Nebraska–Lincoln sociologist Philip Schwadel suggests that this fast-growing group is far more ideologically diverse than commonly assumed. In a new study published in Sociology of Religion, Schwadel found that religious nones who believe in God are far more likely than other nones to have similar policy preferences to their religiously affiliated counterparts.
